You always filled our minds with laughter
With your jokes while your beloved spouse
Filled our stomachs with delicious turkey
With all the trimmings when Andy welcomed
Me to partake of your holiday feasts when
The weather was cold but hospitality warm
As you let me enjoy the feeling of family
Since otherwise I would have been alone
So you'll be sorely missed even as you see
The wonders of Heaven and don angel wings
With the son who preceded you into mortal
Reality while we who are left behind pray
You receive a fine room in God's mansion.
In Memory of Robert Regan May 7, 2011
Thank you very much, Dale, also for coming to the funeral events and being a good friend for Andy. I have linked this poem at a memorial page I've set up here. I also like the other poems you gave me and my family.
